When you're trying to familiarize yourself with the code, this is a
very handy site that lets you browse random kernel releases:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.6.6/

And the staging directory is full of drivers that need love.  See if
you happen to have any of this hardware, or are willing to invest a
few bucks to buy whatever it is this is place to look for examples of
bad code!

fyi: If I recall correctly, if a driver sits in staging for too long
without anyone working on it, it will get deleted from the kernel tree
eventually.  The hope is that devs will take pity on those drivers
from time to time and improve them.  When the quality is good enough
they should be submitted for moving into a more stable part of the
kernel source tree.
